My long lost brother, Carl

Say hello to Carl Carlson, my long lost brother. Carl belongs to Jen Jansen, who found my blog. Isn't he cute?????

Carl has shorter hair than I do, but we won't hold that against him. The glasses and hat give him a lot of extra character, but they don't quite match the elegence of my pearls.

Hi Carl! Come visit me sometime!

Your sis,

Emma

Labor day fun

I started the holiday by helping Mom work in her chair. She wore a very comfy robe that was perfect for snuggling into.












How much longer, Mom? I need a good belly rub.
















Are we there yet?











This is soooooo boring! How about that belly rub now?










Geez. Some people just don't get it. Guess I'll have to snooze some more while she finishes her work.









Maybe Dadderd's chair will be more interesting this morning.
















More interesting? Maybe. I'm not sure I like the bunny ears, though. I'd rather be out chasing rabbits.








Ok, this is a little better. We walked a mile or so to a local park to see the Labor Day Arts Festival. I liked sniffing out popcorn and other goodies that people left around the booths and other places on the ground.







It was a nice, sunny day. The first one of the week. I had to take a long walk in the the rain and mud on Saturday. this was much, much nicer.








Here I am with some of my adoring fans. I don't know why, but everyone wants to pet me when I'm out on a walk like this.

That's ok, though. After all this hard work I was able to beg a bite of icecream. You can see those pictures in the previous post.

Yum! Ice Cream!

This is more like it. I guess I don't need the hot water or disinfectant. This will do.
 

Yuk! Dog Slobber!

Help! I've been kissed by a dog! Get the hot water! Get the disinfectant! 

Kissing Mom!

This is one of my favorite things to do. Usually I wait for the perfect opportunity. You know, the times when both of Mom's hands are full and she can't do anything about a kissing attack.








Even if she has both hands free, I can usually get a good sloppy kiss in if I time it just right.

Wet Dog

Yesterday I went for a walk in the rain and mud at Three Creeks Park. I had a good time and hope to do that again soon.

I'm innocent, really, I am!

Did you ever have one of those nights where you just had to be a wild thing?





Not me. I'm totally innocent and sweet and I wouldn't do anything to get in trouble. Really, I wouldn't. I didn't do it!








Ok, well maybe I did chew on my bed a little. That's not really all that bad a thing. I haven't torn a hole in it as of yet.












Ok, I did bark at the moon, but that's still ok, isn't it?











No? What do you mean, NO!!!! I'm not gonna take this abuse!












Ok, so maybe I'll sit here on time out and calm down a bit. I'm really very sweet and quite innocent. Really, I am!

Mom has a new camera

So, naturally, I'm the test model. This is the test for the "red eye" setting. That seems to work pretty well. Usually I have zombie eyes.











Yes, I'm lovely, I know it.














These photo shoots can get pretty boring. I need my chew toy to keep me happy.










Speaking of chew toys, here's my favorite one. Oh come on Darwin, you're overacting. This is just a love nibble.











How rude!











Sigh. Back to the other chew toy.











Won't somebody play with me? Anybody? Please????

Betrayal!

Say it's not so~ Mom is holding (gasp!) a cat!

That's what happens when she goes away for a few days. Never leave home again! A cat! I can't believe you'd do that to me.

(it's a good thing Mom's friend, J. Paul Fennell, sent this to me so I'd know what she's up to while she's away from home)

Here's Darwin!

In order to make myself look even better, I've decided to put a picture of Darwin on my weblog. 

Varmint Huntin' Again

Here I am at work again. It's hard work, but somebody has to do it. I sure wish I could get rid of this leash, though. It's really cramping my style.
 

At Work

Here I am doing what I was meant to do...varmint huntin'! I don't know why my Mom insists on me wearing this leash...how embarrassing. 

Around the Yard Again

Purpley flowers in our backyard. Andi would know what they are, but to me they're purpley flowers. What are these doing on the Emma Dog Blog, you may ask. Stupid Steve put them here instead of on his Steve Stuff Again web log. What a cat-brain!

At the Park

Who says dogs can't climb trees? Hey! How do you get down from this thing?

Nap Time

Not only am I a good mascot, rabbit hunter, an music critic, I'm also a pretty good pillow. 

Aisling Rehearsal

Here I am at an Aisling rehearal. I attend all of the rehearsal since I _am_ the mascot. In this picture I'm helping the woodwind section.
